Title: Y'all getting tired of these edger blade knives yet?
Post by: jonathan creason on June 21, 2011, 10:21:17 am

Here's one I just finished up for the TG knife swap.  It has spalted oak scales, and a little file work on the spine but I'm an idiot and forgot to take a picture of that.  The oak has some killer grain, but it probably could have stood to be stabilized.

Yes Im tired of seeing them, mostly because I am jealous of all the fine knives you guys make though. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Thanks everybody.  This one feels really nice in my hand and balances pretty well.  Just finished putting an edge on it and it'll pop the hairs off my arm easily.  Now if I could just get the hang of forging I'll have something a little different to show.

Nope not tired at all. In fact it has encouraged me to change the blades on my mower, as I don't have an edger.

Thanks again everybody.  Fired up the forge yesterday and actually managed to beat one out that didn't have fish lips.  Now comes the fun process of filing, and filing, and filing, and filing some more.
